My conversation with Junya has given me an idea for my own use. Is there any source out there with a list of the most commonly used words in Homer, most commonly used words first? I know that the Chicago Homer has word counts, but I'm looking for already compiled statistics.

I, Lex Llama, super genius, will one day rule this planet! And then you'll rue the day you messed with me, you damned dirty apes!

It's kind of neat because you can select which books to include, which frequency thresholds to use for including vs. excluding words and you can choose how they are sorted. Also, of course, it's nice because the output is text (allows you to copy, paste, resort, etc.), not a scanned pdf file. Works not just for Homer, but any Greek texts available on Perseus. There is also a similar tool for Latin.

An updated (1969) version of this book is available: Homeric Vocabularies (by Owen and Goodspeed).

It is the same book with one major improvement: the English translations of the Greek words are now alongside each Greek word. In the original book the English words are listed separately and cross-referenced to the Greek.
